Ecumenical Panel on 2S-LGBTQIA+ Advocacy | AUSE

Our three panelists are Ayodele Moffett, Rev. Dr. Kendra Mitchel-Foster, and Chris Clark. We hear from them about their communities, the advocacy they participate in, how communities of faith can contribute to 2S-LGBTQIA+ advocacy, and what their dreams are for the future. ------------------------------------------ Ayodele Moffett (she/her) is a second-year graduate student in the Master of Divinity (Christian stream) and Master of Psychospiritual Studies programs at Emmanuel College in Toronto, Canada. She is currently discerning a call to ordained ministry with The United Church of Canada and is also working toward becoming a Certified Psychotherapist through the MPS program. She has over 19 years of experience in the developmental services sector. Her academic and vocational interests include spirituality, healing, justice, inclusive community, and psychospiritual integration. She also values spending quality time with family, friends and her pet python. Kendra is an Icelandic/Scottish settler currently living as an uninvited guest on unceded ancestral Lheidli T'enneh Territory, currently known as Prince George, BC. She lives there with her wife, their three children, two dogs and a cat; she has gained so much by being held by this land, and continues to so much by being in relationship with human and non-human creation with humility. Kendra's call is one of peace-building, justice-seeking and nourishing community, and has been an active in queer resistance and liberation for 25 years. In her work, Kendra strives to meet the holy in the everyday, and to know that we are the embodied presence of Christ who must answer to the groanings of Spirit wherever we may be, whatever we may do, and whomever we may be with. Chris is a Queer, neurodiverse, settler who makes his home on, and affirms his ancestors' covenant with, Treaty 7 peoples (imperfectly, but trying). He's wrapping up seminary studies at Vancouver School of Theology on the stolen lands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) peoples (MDiv & MATS); he's a feminist, contemplative, justice-centred, Universalist follower of the Jesus way.
